Truck hangs off bridge in China with driver inside

  • A highway bridge in Guizhou province, southwestern China, collapsed on the morning of June 24 after a landslide caused by continuous heavy rainfall during the monsoon season.

  • A truck with its driver inside was left hanging over the collapsed bridge before firefighters rescued the driver safely without injuries reported.
  • Severe flooding affected southwestern China with at least six deaths, more than 80,000 evacuations, rapidly rising river levels, and a tropical cyclone making landfall on June 24.
  • The incident highlights critical infrastructure vulnerability amidst extreme weather intensified by Asia's warming, prompting emergency evacuations and warnings about challenges in rural flood management.
